screening, part 1
Today, we screened the videos we have been working on for the past 2 weeks. We didn’t have time to watch everybody’s videos, but we watched Lucas’, Marcus’, Michele’s, LokLok’s, Andrew’s, Joanna’s, Benny’s, Boris’, Chris’ and mine. These are the comments from the class/comments I came up with.
Lucas: I thought his filming was very good, and his clips and audio were arranged very neatly, and he got the message across effectively.
Marcus: He had a good theme; fake designer clothing. This theme is quite relevant to us because it shows that we can suffer from the violation of intellectual property rights, as well as the creator of the product, and we have all bought fake designer clothing at some time before. I also liked the humor in it. The last scene with Boris really made me laugh. However, I think that it was quite poorly filmed. The video was set in school, instead of a marketplace, where it was supposed to be set, so it looked quite unrealistic. He could have asked other people to stand in the background so that there is a real marketplace setting, as he is the only seller in the scene. He should also have thought about attire. It looks really unrealistic as he is wearing his school uniform. In terms of sound effect, there was too much background noise. I know that a little was desired to achieve the marketplace effect, but there was too much in his video, and it distracted from the dialogue.
Michele: I liked her idea because, while inapplicable to us, was quite fun with the ninja thing. One small improvement I would suggest is that the beginning scenes with me walking on the street could have been edited so that the color was more saturated. I think this would have made that scene more dramatic. One thing I did not notice, but the class did, was that the subtitles and graphics were too much – she should have focused on one point instead of having everything all over the place.
LokLok: I had liked LokLok’s idea from the beginning, because of how applicable it is to us as students. I had seen all her clips before (and have commented on them in previous blog posts) but this is the first time I have seen it fully edited with subtitles and full audio. I think she could have made the different pieces of background music fade into each other, as they end quite abruptly as it is. Other than that, I think the editing was good on her part.
Andrew: I thought the execution of his video was good, but I didn’t like his idea because it seemed so clichéd. It was obvious he put a lot of effort into it though, because he managed to get people in different industries (art and music) to speak in his video, which must not have been easy to find. I also liked the visuals.
Joanna: I liked her video a lot. Many people said that her video was too informational, but I don’t think so. I think she achieved a good balance between information and visuals. I liked how fast-paced it was, very suitable for a 30-second video because she was then able to fit a lot into a short time without making it seem weird. The music suited her fast-paced video, and the filming was very good. I especially liked the angle she used to film the shops.
Benny: I didn’t really understand what Benny was trying to portray through his video, since there was no link in between the videos and there was no real ending to it. I liked his use of shadows though, and the first shot was good, but a bit slow and unsuitable for a 30-second clip.
Boris: Boris did not make use of visuals in his video. His whole video was basically one long dialogue, and it was boring to watch. Making use of all the dialogue also made me lose interest in what was being said, which in this case was a really bad thing because what was said was pretty much the whole video.
Chris: Chris’ video had similar problems to Marcus’: costumes (especially in this one, where Chris was a police, it only became apparent in the last scene when the subtitles said ‘ARRESTED’.) and location. I liked his chase scene though. Firstly because it was something I hadn’t seen yet in any of the videos, and secondly because the shaky handheld camera made it a lot more realistic. Colors could have been edited darker to make it more sinister though.
We also watched my video, and I learned a lot from the comments of other people. The main problem with my video was that my audio was too cluttered. I had noticed that before and tried to do something about it, but the narrator’s voice could only be magnified by 150%, and I couldn’t decide what to cut because I liked all the audio I had put in. Thinking I could get away with leaving everything in, I magnified the narrator’s voice as much as I could and softened the background music and echoes slightly. Apparently, I was wrong, because the audio was a problem everyone else spotted. Some of my audio also went on for too long, i.e. the clock ticking. One point that no one noticed was that I had edited the lighting on Final Cut Pro. For example, I made the beginning scene darker, making it look later in the night outside and also making me look tired and hiding the smile I had while videoing, which would have been obvious if I hadn’t edited the lighting.
I can’t wait to finish watching the rest of the videos!
